The Hello Etsy conference, "a summit on small business and sustainability", took place last weekend and I was there :)
It's been a fully scheduled two days international experience, in the amazing location of E-Werk, where more than 500 partecipans had the chance to get together and follow some very inspiring lectures about different aspects of starting a small business...
You may watch all of them on etsy's livestream channel, I particularly suggest the mindblowing lecture by Douglas Rushkoff "Program or be programmed"...

that's all for now, I am going to oil the guts of my sewing machine and get some work done, while brainstorming about all the info packed in my head after this weekend :)

Hello dear neglected blog--- I've been away from you for almost two months, never finding the right time or the inspiration for writing a few lines... I've been working at the restaurant for most of the time... but I took a bunch of pictures while I was not there, so here's a selection of the "best moments" of the past two months...

New things around the house:

after 6 years as a full time free lance I am actually enjoying the subtle satisfaction that comes with the secure money from a waitressing job...I got myself a new writing desk, that gorgeous chair, a warm coat for the upcoming winter (not pictured yet), a couple of beautiful porcelain lamps, some additions to my collection of vases, and so on...

Walks around the neighborhood:

that's me:

and these just because I like them :)

(presents that my boyfriend brought me from China and Malaysia)

that's it for now... In the next weeks I'll be working on the pieces that I will bring with me at RENEGADE LONDON, I'm so excited to go there! I will share a stand with my friend Leah

drop me a line if you are going too, it will be nice to meet you there!
